Thanks, I got 12 and 14 hooks

I will probably do up a couple of each size in olive, yellow, orange and brown

that ought to be just fine...16's are good too

Made a few clousers in different colors/sizes and a few wolly buggers. Ran out of #4 hooks, so I couldn't make as many as I wanted to.

I like those clousers with the marabou!

Finished these up earlier

Surf candy in a rainbow trout pattern... Guadalupe stripers here I come.


Redfish critters, tied on no. 2 jig hooks. Purple one has rattle in the body...

Like this one alot. Like the others as well, I tie a jig/fly with white ice chenille with white craft fur tail. Works well on sandies and crappies.

Glad you like the striper candy

You mean kind of like the ones that i posted on page 60? Or these that I just finished up?

I based those off Tarponfly's green lantern.

Got bored watching football, so I tied some more flies. They were all a wooly bugger pattern. Used a #6 hook for the small orange/brown bugger and a 1/0 hook with a feather tail for the larger orange/brown bugger. I read somewhere that carp like this pattern.

The black flies are the same pattern with feather tails and metal eyes using #6 and 1/0 hooks. The black buggers normally catch anything.

I tied around 25 flies while watching the two football games this weekend.

Nice flies. I really like the orange bugger.

It's been dead in here, so I tied up some Straw Bosses...

really like the 2nd pic FF! awesome tying. cant wait to get back into it this summer myself

Thanks Ash, glad you like them. I really enjoy tying. Probably never get to throw even hslf of what I have tired lately, but I guess thats not always the point.

Good lookin' stuff.

Kinda similar to the Straw Boss. I like that pattern.



And a couple of others:


A little green critter.


A Partridge Soft Hackle.


and an Elk Hair Caddis.

Got a new camera, and been playing.

Very nice. I thought about adding eyes to mine, guess I still could, but I went author... Hmmm...

Can't do it tonight, still at work.

I've been tying some and putting googly eyes on them, also. I haven't fished the googly eyes, so I'm not certain how they'll handle being thrashed around in the water.

Kirk

tied up some Guinea Crease flies, a red and white baitfish pattern, and 2 random patterns out of my new book. And a little shrimp.

Kirk, I like that soft hackle, and the elk hair caddis!!! Super cool work.

Fishing Fedora, I like the bottom two flies in the first pic, the bait fish, and I think the guinea crease flies are very unique. Great idea.
Kelly

The first pic is of 2 mini crab pattern variations from Dick Brown's book. The other ones are supposed to look something like the filter parts of a tube worm or something, also from the book. I have a whole bunch of herl lying around, so I tied those 2 up.

I got the basic idea for the crease flies from a Crab Apple fly.

That is pretty much the only baitfish pattern that I have the materials for.

Thanks.

Wool head sculpin pattern
